We tested a variety of print management software applications and Mediaform's was clearly the best solution for our needs. Their tech support has continued to help us customize their product for us and the paper and toner savings will more than pay for the software in less than a year.

"In a small architectural firm, the costs related to printing (especially oversized documents) can easily take a sizable bite out of project fees and such a loss can be very difficult to absorb. We needed a way to track and account for our in-house printing so that we could transfer the printing expenses associated with project documentation to our clients. First and foremost, we needed a package that would provide features like tracking by project number and a way for our users to define how to bill the print from their local machine. We looked at several offerings, but found that Mediaform Print Tracker 4.0 paired with Print Job Agent fit the bill perfectly..."
